Sobre este artículo

First Edition. (UK)

xii, 709 p., [1] folded leaf (genealogical table).

Deep red hardcover, with blindstamped cover, gilt lettering and decoration to spine, and red-coloured foredge (top edge only). The covers show some minor edgewear, the tip and heel of spine have some mild bumping, and the coloured foredge exhibits some fading, but it is otherwise Near Fine, with the exception of the folded leaf of the genealogical tree, which has been previously misfolded, resulting in a few very small closed tears to its far edge. The dust jacket is housed in a removable protective sleeve to prevent further damage, but the paper is aged, with some sunning, and tears and chips to edges.
See listing images for details.

From dust jacket flaps:

In The Bright Pavilions, Hugh Walpole goes back to Elizabethan days for a new Chronicle of the Herries family. Cumberland is again the central ground of the story. There are various family relations, but The Bright Pavilions tells in the main the adventures of two brothers, Robin and Nicholas Herries, who illustrate that mixing in the Herries blood of the spiritual and the material that is the theme of the other Herries Chronicles. The brothers, devoted the one to the other, are sharply contrasted—Nicholas the giant, lover, tiller of the soil, fighter; and Robin who longs for the Bright Pavilions of Heaven, almost loses his way to them, but finds them at last.
The centre of the novel is concerned with the last weeks and days of Mary of Scotland at Fotheringhay. Every kind of adventure, including one of the fiercest fights in fiction, is in this book, and the enemy of the brothers is one of those doomed figures of evil that Hugh Walpole loves to draw. His final struggle with Nicholas Herries is perhaps the most vivid and exciting episode in any of the Walpole Novels.
This is a grim book but an exciting one. At the time of this Chronicle England was as grimly faced by the enemy as she is now ; this is an appropriate moment for the novel's appearance.

NOTE: Thick book (just under 2 inches) may require extra shipping charges.
